Resolution Ordinance No. 22-06

In Plain English

The city currently issues business licenses without checking for illegal activity by applicants. This law change lets the Tax Collector deny or revoke licenses if a business engages in illegal activities. If approved, the city gains a new tool to shut down problem businesses that harm neighborhoods.
